Book Synopsis

If there is any one element to the engineering of service systems that is unique, it is the extent to which the suitability of the system for human use, human service, and excellent human experience has been and must always be considered. An exploration of this emerging area of research and practice, Advances in the Human Side of Service Engineering covers a broad spectrum of ergonomics and human factors issues highlighting the design of contemporary manufacturing systems.



Topics include:







  • Adoption of health information technology (HIT)


  • Aging society: the impact of age on traditional service system constructs


  • Anthropology in service science


  • Applying service design techniques to healthcare


  • Co-creating value


  • Cognitive systems modeling of service systems


  • Context-related service: the human aspect of ser
